Lokta Bold Floral Bamboo Lock Notebook – Medium (15x12cm) – 45 Leaves – Ruby

The most vivid of the four Bold Floral Bamboo Lock colours. The ruby cover is a rich, warm red — not bright cherry or cool crimson but a deep, jewel-toned red with warmth and saturation. Against this, the bold floral motifs are especially striking: the large-scale flowers read as confident and expressive. Of the four colours, this is the one most likely to be picked up from a display. Inside: 45 leaves of handmade lokta paper, unlined. Bamboo toggle-and-loop closure. What Sets This Apart Hand-dyed lokta paper in a deep red tone. The colour saturates the paper rather than sitting on top of it, achieved through the traditional dyeing process during paper-making. Expect variation between notebooks — hand-dyeing produces reds ranging from slightly more orange-warm to slightly more berry-cool. Think the warm, deep red of the gemstone rather than the bright red of a postbox. Red carries deep significance in Nepali and South Asian culture — associated with festivity, celebration, marriage, and auspiciousness. In Buddhist tradition, red represents the life force and sacred energy. Lokta paper from the Daphne Papyracea bush, handmade in Nepal. Tree-free, acid-free, naturally durable. Bamboo toggle closure. Medium format (15 × 12 cm): compact enough for a bag, substantial enough for regular journaling. Ruby on the Bold Floral The bold floral pattern is the same design used across all four colours in this format — what changes is how the pattern reads against different backgrounds. On ruby, the flowers feel most energetic and expressive. The contrast between the dark red and the printed floral motifs gives this version more visual punch than the subtler Moss Green or the cooler Midnight Blue.
